Review Quotes: "[Red Colored Elegy] is a condensed visual poetry that still feels avant-garde nearly forty years later." --The Believer
"Traced photographs, blank word balloons and nearly cubist sex scenes . . . beautifully lament Ichiro and Sachiko's failed relationship . . . The story is heartbreakingly universal." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
